High availability for persistent memory

Techniques for implementing high availability for persistent memory are provided. In one embodiment, a first computer system can detect an alternating current (AC) power loss/cycle event and, in response to the event, can save data in a persistent memory of the first computer system to a memory or storage device that is remote from the first computer system and is accessible by a second computer system. The first computer system can then generate a signal for the second computer system subsequently to initiating or completing the save process, thereby allowing the second computer system to restore the saved data from the memory or storage device into its own persistent memory.
